our budget has opportunity to change the course of our nation. we have a responsibility to avoid the debt crisis that the chairman has said and to move forward with a prosperous future. common sense and math tell us that balancing a budget requires two things -- cutting spending and economic growth. the tax code today is nearly 4 million words long and about 60% of our taxpayers need to hire professionals to help them prepare their returns. every year americans spent 6 million hours and a lot of money filling out their returns. clearly something is wrong. our budget reaffirms that the ways and means committee will pass comprehensive, progrowth legislation this year. this budget builds on bipartisan consensus in favor of lowering the rates to create jobs and broadening the base to ensure fairness and simplicity for our families. the purpose of tax reform is not to take more money from our families to spend more money in washington. it is to create jobs and to increase the wages for working families. i look forward to working with budget members an

that muchso obvious has changed in terms of the learning, has its? >> that is yet to be seen. ultimately you can make the argument that what we learned from the wars in both iraq and afghanistan will be as important as the outcome of those wars. we do we learn these lessons every time we go to war. the question is, will we be at all to understand these lessons and apply them to how we structure our national defense and how we prepare our civilian and military leaders to deal with future threats to national and international security. i think remains to be seen. there are some major impediments to us learn these lessons. one of those impediments is the tendency in the conventional wisdom to view these wars dismissively as wars of choice or aberrations. unless you are going to say that future policy makers will make perfect policy decisions in the future based on your perfect foresight or understanding of the situation at the outset, then we obviously have to be prepared. these are determined enemies in very complicated and burns. the other impediment is just -- one of the manif

what can you do to change this? there are bright spots. we are on life support but we are not completely dead in journalism. news places are cropping up. they are coming back. they give us the best opportunity in the immediate future to get the truth back out and ask questions that used to be asked in the white house. we need people with the courage. they are not worried about the next moments scoop. we are seeing some of those pop up. if you see them, support them. if you have students that are thinking journalism is the last place to go, encourage them. you have a place where you put your money. if you are subscribing to publications, and they do not give you the truth, you have a way to vote with your pocketbook where you advertise and subscribed. there is an opportunity for folks at this convention and across the country to send a message to my profession that it is time to clean up our act and reinvest in expertise and give the american people the truth. if i help you, cpap will have a story to tell and hopefully not another benghazi.

and what changes can we make? what guarantees can we give the public that our immigration laws will be enforced and we will not have millions of people not lawfully in the country? you have limited resources to address that. we understand that. you're given a mandate by the congress to retain a 34,000 that low orto say local officials can automatically, not based upon individual circumstances of people being detained, but based upon spending measures and the available funds, make this decision, without ever consulting with you, without your consulting with the secretary of homeland security, without ever considering that if congress has a mandate and you need the funds to meet the mandate, you should come to the appropriations committee and asked for the reprogramming of funds that are available and accessible for you to do that -- i think given the set of circumstances we are in, it is an unfortunate set of circumstances we find ourselves in. this has not been helpful to that process because we've got to build th

[applause] the truth is more pronounced given the changes sweeping the arab world. i understand that with the uncertainty in the region, people in the streets, changes in leadership, the rise of nonsecular parties and politics, t is tempting to turn inward because the situation outside of israel seems so chaotic, but this is precisely the time to respond the wave of revolution with a resolve and commitment for peace. [applause] because -- as more governments respond to popular will, the days when israel could seek peace simply with a handful of autocratic leaders, those days are over. peace will have to be made among peoples. not just governments. [applause] no one -- no single step can change overnight what lies in the hearts and minds of millions. no single step is going to erase years of history and propaganda. but progress with the palestinians is a powerful way to begin. while sidelining extremists who thrive on conflict and thrive on division, it would make a difference.
